I’m So excited that I’ve been asked to do so many sports events Lately! What an Exciting change for me!!! Well, Wednesday Night I went to Obsidian Junior High here in Redmond to take photos of the Wrestling Meet that was happening. NOW, It has been several years since I have been to any School related sports event, I’m not really the sports kind of person……you know, I was the kid that made baskets in the other teams hoop…….HAHAHA I’m not ashamed to admit it….I suck at sports…ANYWAYS, I showed up with all my gear, ready to take some pics, when something came over me……OMG-my  “MOM” goggles some how slipped onto my eyes, I wanted to save the kids who were being smashed and pulled and pinched…..honestly I kinda got into it, and I wanted to start coaching these kids, but I didn’t, I kept my cool……….

I learned a lot that night about relationships, and that Kids ARE awesome!!!! I LOVE the way the kids looked at their coaches for advise and inspiration in the middle of being smashed…..those big eyes looking up for someone to tell them what to do…..I LOVED that no matter what, win or lose the coaches were all proud of their kids, never a negative thing said to any of them “you could have done better” or “wow, that was horrible” NEVER even crossed the coaches minds or lips. The Parents were strong supporters of their children, sometimes standing right behind the coaches, cheering on their kids! As a Parent, I dont know what it must feel like when your kid wins or loses, but I know that either way the parents and coaches that night did a wonderful job of giving these kids some GREAT self esteem boosters!!!! Kudos to them!!!

Here are some of my favorite shots from the Meet……..Enjoy………
